Containing important information about the coronavirus, this comprehensive, easy-to-follow primer on pandemics, epidemics, and the panics they ignite around the world also shares solutions for a safer, healthier future.

Are pandemics something new? How on Earth did ancient empires and their citizens react to them? Is there a way to protect ourselves both mentally and physically against them? How do pandemics affect our social metal and religious behavior? The most objective historian of all time, Thucydides gives the answer to all these problems by describing the symptoms and the effects of the pandemic in the Ancient Athens Empire (he was also ill from the plague and got over it!).

Anticipating a career in medicine, Dr. William A. Haseltine was in his first weeks of graduate studies at Harvard when a legendary physician-scientist offered this advice: “You can do more for human health through science than you ever could as a doctor.” That advice hit him “like a thunderbolt” - and he took it. Since then, Dr. Haseltine has helped combat cancers, worked to contain the HIV/AIDS pandemic and unlocked the power of the human genome to develop dozens of new pharmaceutical cures.

Pandemia é uma epidemia de grandes proporções. Os cientistas temem que a humanidade seja vítima de uma pandemia capaz de matar dezenas e até centenas de milhões de pessoas no mundo todo. Para que isto aconteça basta que apareça uma doença que combine enorme capacidade de contaminação (de preferência antes de os sintomas aparecerem) com poder para matar grande número de pacientes infectados. A grande concentração urbana que caracteriza a humanidade em nossa época (ao contrário do que aconteceu quando das grandes febres do começo do século XX) facilita a propagação.

For those who could read between the lines, the censored news out of China was terrifying. But the president insisted there was nothing to worry about. Fortunately, we are still a nation of skeptics. Fortunately, there are those among us who study pandemics and are willing to look unflinchingly at worst-case scenarios. Michael Lewis’ taut and brilliant nonfiction thriller pits a band of medical visionaries against the wall of ignorance that was the official response of the Trump administration to the outbreak of COVID-19.

Societies have struggled with pandemics for thousands of years. Plague and cholera, smallpox and influenza; deadly diseases spring up, kill thousands, if not millions, and we still don’t learn. We make the same mistakes again and again. Defeating an infectious agent should not be complicated.

COVID-19 is the defining event of 2020 and possibly the decade. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, and in the months since this declaration, the virus has shown no sign of relenting.

In Corona, False Alarm?, award-winning researchers Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi and Dr. Karina Reiss give clarity to these confusing and stressful times.

In the case of the recent virus, the most ideal carrier animal is a bat or snake. Since humans don’t consume snakes and bats in several areas of the world but in some places like China they are consumed, it is suspected that the new outbreak is linked to the consumption of an infected bat. The same is the cause for other virus outbreaks in the past.

What can we learn from the past pandemics? Do you want to know more about the Spanish flu? The pandemic had nearly similar causes to influenza; we are now fighting because of the reality that the H1N1 epidemic triggered Spanish flu from animals. The pandemic has catastrophic effects, and the overall mortality reported is greater than SARS, HIV, Black Death, and Ebola.
